An Event to Benefit the Special Needs Community
Nancy Krieger, MFA, R-DMT
Dance/movement therapy uses movement to "further the emotional, cognitive, physical and social integration of the individual."
After 13 years of formal ballet training in Dallas, TX, Nancy Krieger earned a BS in Psychology at Goucher College, MD; and then a Masters in Fine Arts in Dance (MFA) at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX. She also studied Dance-Movement Therapy at the Carl Jung Center, Houston. She worked as a therapist for 7 years in the child and adolescent units at Terrell State Hospital (Tx) and became a registered Dance-Movement Therapist (R-DMT) of the American Dance Therapy Association. She moved to the Boston area where she worked for 3 years with chronic pain patients at the New England Rehabilitation Hospital (Woburn). Currently, she teaches Creative Movement in Boston/Needham area preschools – where she is known as ‘Dancy Nancy’, offering developmentally appropriate movement/kinesthetic awareness, expressive, communicative, explorative repertoire, based on diverse styles and modalities. She also works with children with multi-abilities, including developmental delays and challenges, providing enriched experiences and therapeutic opportunities. Nancy continues to supervise Dance-Movement Therapy trainees and give continuing education workshops in Stress-Management and Teacher’s Continuing Education with Mindful Movement in the Classroom (Kinesthetic Learning). She also sings in a community chorus and is an active community volunteer (e.g., reading programs).
